(4) Devasenādevī. Since this Devī has been born out of a sixth part of Mahāmāyā she is called Ṣaṣṭhidevī also. It is this Devī, who gives children to living beings and also protects them. For one year from the birth of a child this Devī should be worshipped. Those who cannot afford it should worship Devī on the 6th or 21st day after a child is born. (See Devasenā).
